Exam PRINCE2-Foundation topic 1 question 273 discussion

Clearly defined roles and responsibilities ensure that everyone understands their specific tasks, duties, and decision-making authority. This eliminates confusion and ambiguity, leading to better coordination and reduced errors.

a: B. Because the project management team should be cross-functional: While cross-functional teams can be beneficial, the primary reason for defined roles is clarity and accountability, not team structure. C. Because the user and supplier interests should be involved on a need-to-know basis: This is related to communication and stakeholder management, not the core reason for defined roles. D. Because the project manager should represent all the stakeholders of the project: The project manager has a specific role, and other roles (like the senior user and executive) represent different stakeholder interests.
